Amathus Armageddon

Koniotis Mysteries #4

by Gina Drew

In the fourth espionage thriller novel in the Koniotis Mystery series, UN security official and former Cypriot police official Takis Koniotis and his American archaeologist wife, Caitlyn Koniotis, have settled into a seemingly idyllic life with a new family in a home on a mesa top overlooking the Cypriot capital city and two mountain ranges and within a short drive of Takis’s new UN International Crime Investigations Service office. All seems perfect until they become embroiled once again in terrorism and intrigue on both the personal and international levels.The couple and their circle of acquaintances and friends, including some who will pay the ultimate sacrifice, are drawn into the resurfacing of mysteries they thought solved already, starting with the shocking discovery of a mysterious “cave” woman from the past. Overlaying this is Takis’s responsibility to set up the security for a coming Middle East peace conference on Cyprus’s Amathus resort hotel coast. If successful, the conference will bring the region closer to security and stability than it ever has been. The possibility of this is great enough that the forces promoting and feeding off instability in the region begin to retaliate. Stealing a march on the Amathus conference, they have called their own counter gathering in Malta. And as the two conferences square off against each other, national leaders are threatened and assassinated, assumed loyalties are twisted, and Takis’s and Caitlyn’s personal nemeses and demons begin to merge into the overall “Armageddon” of the struggle between good and evil in a coalescing spiral into a final accounting.This book is set late last century.Koniotis Cyprus Mysteries Series Each book in this series stands alone, but they are also all connected in various ways and form the different parts of one story.Laughter’s EchoSalted AwayMouflon BrigadeAmathus ArmageddonBogus BillsHomewrecker
